Later he fixed January 6 as the new date for pronouncing the verdict. Judge Rana was on leave on January 6, so the decision was postponed to January 13. Today the judge once again postponed the decision to January 17 citing the accused not appearing in the court.

Talks are going on between PTI and government

Interestingly, the postponement comes at a time when the government and Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are in talks to end the political instability in the country due to the imprisonment of the former prime minister and several other leaders. Continuing. Two rounds of talks have taken place so far and another round of talks is expected this week. It is not clear whether this decision will have any impact on the next round of talks or not.

Loss of 19 crore pounds

The National Accountability Bureau had filed a case against Khan (72), Bibi (50) and six others in December 2023, accusing them of causing a loss of 190 million pounds to the national exchequer. Khan and Bibi were prosecuted in this case because all the other accused, including the real estate businessman, are out of the country. (Language)
